LET HER GO. LET HER GO, MAN! FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE SEEING AND HEARING A FIGHT, A BEATING, BETWEEN TWO TEENAGE GIRLS THAT LANDED ONE OF THEM IN THE HOSPITAL AND ANOTHER IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWO MONTHS SINCE THOSE PUNCHES WERE THROWN A FEW BLOCKS FROM OCEAN WAY MIDDLE SCHOOL. NOW THE FIGHT IS GAINING NATIONAL ATTENTION AS ONE LAWYER FIGHTS TO GET HIS CLIENT'S ACCUSED BULLY BANNED FROM SCHOOL. SHE HAD A SKULL FRACTURE AND A CONCUSSION. THE OTHER IS CHARGED WITH FELONY BATTERIES. HAILEY WINSLOW IS LIVE AT THE COURTHOUSE WITH MORE ON THE BEATING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. WE DON'T EVEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CELL PHONE VIDEO STOPS. THE BEATING KEPT GOING AND THEN HER ATTACKER LEFT HER ON THE GROUND UNCONSCIOUS SAYS THE ATTORNEY. IT WAS JUST VICIOUS, ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS. VICIOUS AND HARD TO WATCH.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, A BOY TRIES TO PULL CANNON OFF HER, BUT THE OTHER STUDENTS TELL HIM TO BACK OFF. CANNON KNEES HER IN THE HEAD AND THE ATTACK CONTINUES. IT WAS TOUCH TO WATCH. I'M SURE IT WAS HER MOTHER TO SEE IT AS WELL. IT'S JUST A TOUGH SITUATION. THE VIDEO ENDS WHEN STUDENTS REALIZE THEY NEED TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL BEFORE CLASS STARTS. I GOT TO GO BACK. WE'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE. TROUBLE IS RIGHT, ESPECIALLY CANNON WHO WAS ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH FELONY BATTERY AND CHARGED FROM ALL DUVAL COUNTY SCHOOLS. THAT BAN WAS STAYED BY AN APPEALS COURT ALLOWING HER BACK IN THE DISTRICT, JUST NOT OCEAN WAY. THE ATTORNEYS CALL CANNON A SERIAL BULLY AND ARE ASKING OTHER VICTIMS TO COME FORWARD. MY OFFICE IS OFFERING A REWARD FOR ANY VIDEOS OF PARIS CANNON'S FIGHTS, WHETHER ON OR OFF SCHOOL, A $200 REWARD. SEND THEM TO US.
